URUGUAY VS GERMANY PREDICTIONS FOR 2010 WORLD CUP 3RD PLACE MATCH PART ONE
_2.jpg)
Germany are the solid favourites for this one and virtually every bookmaker has listed them at an odds-on price for this one- and that's a factor that the Uruguayan side just might revel in. They've excelled in the underdog role throughout this tournament and cobbled together a really great run that could have gone quite different if a few bounces went their way.
Luis Suarez's handball will go down in history as one of the most memorable World Cup moments and it just might pip Frank Lampard's non-goal against the Germans as the most memorable moment of the 2010 World Cup.
Popular UK bookmaker William Hill has priced the Germany's odds to beat Uruguay at an 8/11 price while Uruguay are trading at 4/1 to win the match in 90 minutes. The draw, which would see us into extra-time and possibly penalties, would pay out at an enticing 5/2.
I think that's a great bet for the neutrals.
The outright winner market has Germany listed at a very slim 3/10 while Uruguay are priced at 12/5. That's a very short price for Germany and I would wait to back them until the in-play betting starts as those odds just aren't attractive.
I think the Thomas Muller factor is going to be an interesting variable and you can back Muller to get a goal at anytime with an 11/8 payout. He is 7/1 to score first or last and 8/1 to score two or more.
Miroslav Klose is the favoured German goalscorer and you can back him at 4/5 anytime and 9/2 first or last. He is 4/1 to score two or more and 18/1 to get a hat-trick. He would need to score a few here to be in contention for top goalscorer at the World Cup.
Diego Forlan is priced at 6/4 to score anytime for Uruguay and 8/1 to score first or last. I hear he may not start the match due to injury so I would wait until the teamsheets are released before placing a substantial wager on Forlan, who would be a good bet to score if he actually plays.
